Sorry, I didn't fully understand your question. You are right in thinking a buy back would increase the PPS because as they buy back shares the float shrinks and more demand is caused. Even if it is not announced it should raise the PPS to some degree. Then when it is announced that the share stucture has shrunk then more pressure is put on the PPS to go up. More people are willing to be a part of a company with a small share structure because it brings stability to the PPS. That is why buy backs are so powerful to move the PPS. Not common in pinkyland though. If that is what they are doing it will be good for us all. I hope this is clear. If I have missed anything or gotten it wrong I am sure someone will correct me. GLTU
